1898
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
At the Concert (Au concert) is a 1898 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketchy drawing shows two people sitting side by side. One wears a big black hat and coat, the other a fancy light dress with a yellow flower. Their faces are simple but expressive, and the background is mostly empty except for a red chair arm. The colors are flat and bright, with lots of black and pink. The artist used loose, quick lines to suggest movement and life. This style was common in late 1800s Paris, where artists focused on everyday scenes instead of polished portraits. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
